Column: When this is over, we will need another Nuremberg
Opinion A Border Patrol agent searches a neighborhood in Southeast Raleigh, N.C.. Nov. 18, 2025. Photo courtesy of Scott Sharpe/The News & Observer. Jan 20, 2026, 2:17 AM There comes a point when euphemism becomes collaboration. What Immigration Customs Enforcement is doing in Minneapolis is not immigration enforcement, domestic security or a policy disagreement between parties. This is an actual federally sanctioned paramilitary organization.
Chapel Hill demonstrators speak out against Minneapolis ICE killing of Renee Good

Satire: The Democrats are the losers of the shutdown and everything else forever
Opinion Nov 23, 2025, 11:23 PM Editor's note: Though this piece is labeled "satire," all included quotes are real. Dear Reader. Over the last weekend, eight moderate Senate Democrats cut a deal to end the federal government shutdown. What the Republicans get is this: everything they want. What the Democrats get is this: a vote in the Senate without a commitment that it will pass. My political illiteracy aside, getting everything one wants sounds pretty good. What about what the Democrats get?
Column: A way forward on healthcare
Opinion Nov 20, 2025, 4:15 PM Recently, the Senate reached a deal to end the longest government shutdown in American history. Democrats, confronted with the prospect of lapsing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits and pay for federal employees, joined Senate Republicans in voting to reopen the government as part of a deal that funds the government for the next few months.
Column: It’s time for Democrats to drain the swamp
Opinion Nov 20, 2025, 4:10 PM When a government shutdown occurs, it isn’t merely a bout of congressional showmanship; it's a statement about who wields power, who yields it and who bears witness. And what we have just witnessed is the spectacle of the Democratic Party completely bending to the Republican Party. Corporate and moderate Democrats have surrendered their narrative, their leverage and, in the process, their credibility.
Column: Protests like No Kings are not enough
Opinion Oct 30, 2025, 10:31 AM Last Sunday, America’s largest cities — from New York to Chicago to Atlanta — were alive with hundreds of thousands of protesters pouring into the streets for the latest No Kings demonstration. The gatherings were jubilant affairs, a collective act of democracy, with people holding signs that blended humor with advocacy. Messages like “Eat the Rich (Ethically Sourced)” and “I like taters not dictators” elicited smiles.

Whether we’re searching for a new recipe, seeking advice or looking for an answer to a question, ChatGPT is right there.

Column: ChatGPT, the therapist that's always on-call
This column was published as part of the 'Versus' series. To read the opposing view, click here. There are two things quintessential to the college experience: tight schedules and an even tighter budget. With midterms, club obligations and the pressure of squeezing in coffee with that one girl from your Spanish class you keep meaning to catch up with, making time to process feelings isn’t at the top of a typical student's to-do list.

Column: The U.S. birthrate is falling - it's time progressives stop ignoring it
For years, falling birthrates have been framed as a right-wing obsession. Figures like Elon Musk warn of “civilizational collapse,” while pundits on the far right spin demographic decline into racist fantasies of “replacement.” Against this backdrop, many progressives have rolled their eyes, dismissing the birthrate debate as little more than fearmongering or thinly-veiled bigotry. Yet brushing it off entirely misses a genuine societal challenge with far-reaching consequences.

Conservative pundits have often framed the contemporary art world as a vessel for left-wing ideology rather than creative expression.
Column: Academia is non-partisan - it's up to all of us to defend it against fascism
Printing news. Raising hell. Since 1893. Monday, March 31, 2025 Newsletters Latest print issue Across the country, academia is under siege. Universities are no longer merely caught in the crossfire of partisan culture wars — they are the targets of a coordinated political campaign to silence dissent and reshape public discourse.
